Why is USA such a shithole?
Why are we such a glorious country?
Hint: Because we're socialist

No, I live a very comfortable life, wtf is thus bullshit

The poorest areas in the U.S. are worse than the poorest areas in Poland. But the U.S. on average is middle of the road for a 1st world country.
>>60213905
IHDI measures development for the poorest compared to the richest. The U.S. has high inequality, therefor it's absolute poorest (bottom 1% of people) live worse than the poor in many 1st world countries.
However, on average the U.S. performs middle of the road, not much better or worse than most Euro countries.

We would be better off if we have more socialist programs
>>60214197
I'm not gonna have my taxes support some nigger whore and her daughter
>>60214197
hah nice one
>>60214197
We do, but they're haphazard and hard to get.
Taxation and reinvestment into public works that benefit everyone (such as in education and public transit) is the best way to reduce inequality.
>>60214246
They would also support you if you become poor. Your electricity, water and gas are all partially paid for by taxes. Welfare isn't the only thing you spend taxes on, and is in fact much less efficient than reinvestment into public projects.

>Still see /pol/ memes
Jesus your brain is beyond deluded. Why do you have to bring up black people like you have some sort of fetish about them?
>>60214439
because they elected a stupid nigger as the president, who is now siphoning my hard earned money directly into the pockets of the poor and blacks

This is bait right?

they literally wouldn't need these if they'd just get better jobs

this
>our poor people live better than yours!
Who gives a shit, I'm not poor and if you are then my life is already better than yours
This HDI is the only one that matters, your countries are shit but congrats on making things easier for poor people I guess
>>60213905
Average != just you
>>60214648
>>what is welfare
A broad term For dozens of programs
>>what is SNAP/EBT
You can only get SNAP if you lost your job and apply for unemployment benefits, which takes months. Only the absolute poorest get EBT anymore because they'll literally starve if they don't get it.
>>what is niggercare
A meme that implies that poor whites didn't benefit from Obamacare as well. You want to go back to the time when you could be dropped by insurance companies for no reason?
>>60214132
>wealth
BS indicator
>>60214727
HDI is too limited, IHDI too political. Social progress index is one of the better ones imo, it measures a lot of different metrics to give you a clear picture of a country as a whole.
>>60214132
>wealth
BS indicator
Too biased towards countries with lax housing loans.
>>60214648
>they literally wouldn't need these if they'd just get better jobs
And who's gonna flip your burgers?

Oh, I'm sorry. You thought you should be on top or something?

Norway is an Christian Oil Emirate, Switzerland has an absurdly high cost of living, and the difference between Australia and USA in that is that things cost less in the USA so our 348,000 ends up going better than their 431,000
>>60213651
it's only a problem if you're a minority tho

Well, you are free to make the excuses you want, but if you are interested here is some reading:

>Wealth
Pic related, it's cunts sorted by median wealth per capita, which I think is the best indicator of actual wealth of the general public.
>>60214825
People just have a hard time thinking that we actually have socialist programs in place right now. But God forbid if we mention subsidizing healthcare and education, cause that would take away our money (not)
